George Clooney's best friend is relieved Amal Clooney doesn't make him "feel stupid."

Rande Gerber, who attended the couple's recent wedding in Venice, Italy with wife Cindy Crawford, admits the British human rights lawyer is very "smart," but insists she isn't intimidating.

Asked about the newlyweds, the 52-year-old entrepreneur told PEOPLE.com: "She's really perfect for him. She's smart and she's beautiful, engaging. She is, again ... smart, but she doesn't make you feel stupid!"

Rande predicts the brunette beauty and the 'Monuments Men' actor will do "some incredible things" together.

He said: "I've been friends with George probably half my life. And it's just great that he found someone."

He added: "She's a great girl, and together I think they can do some incredible things."

Meanwhile, Rande and Cindy, who have son Presley, 15, and daughter Kaia, 13, are happier than ever after 16 years of marriage and still enjoy regular date nights.

The model said: "We live in Malibu, Rande has a restaurant there, so I would say, normally, we'll just go grab a bite to eat and just have time to connect. We're lucky because we have time, but our best date night is with the kids."
